Wan'an City is already the season when spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the capital of Xiliao is still chilly in spring.

Rong Yuancheng secretly carried a sack out of the city and found a rarely visited valley. The snow on the mountain had not yet melted, and the cold wind blew on his face with a moist chill.

Qing Lei, who came to the Western Liao Dynasty with Rong Yuancheng, appeared to help. Following Rong Yuancheng's instructions, he took people to find a flat ground, picked up all kinds of dry firewood, and piled them together.

Rong Yuancheng opened the sack and revealed Mu Zhenxuan's body without his eyes closed. Since the scandal was exposed last year, he has become thinner and embarrassed, and has long lost his former energetic appearance. Apart from the fact that he secretly sneaked into Wan'an City to destroy the Gu family a few years ago, he did nothing else.

Perhaps in Mu Zhenxuan's plan, he had a future, but unfortunately, his nephew Lu Zhe who he thought could easily grasp was a real poisonous snake that could bite people, which directly led to him losing all initiative completely.

And just when Mu Zhenxuan chose to let Rong Yuancheng take charge of his life, he was already dead in the eyes of all the Rong family members.

Rong Yuancheng's mind saw Mu Zhenxuan's perfect fatherly appearance since he was a child, and it was just a perfect mask.

Mu Zhenxuan doesn’t love anyone. He doesn’t love Liu Manshu, Rong Lan, and all the children who are not biological, he only loves himself. Who can a person who treats his old mother all year round and goes back after the accident and never thinks about meeting again? Who can he expect to be sincere to him?

Rong Yuancheng closed Mu Zhenxuan's eyelids with his hand, picked up his body, placed it on the pile of dry firewood, then took a handful of hay handed over by Qing Lei, lit it with his own hands, and threw it over.

The fire became stronger and stronger with the wind, and Mu Zhenxuan's body was surrounded and swallowed by the fire, and a strange smell spread in the air.

Qinglei sent people to stare at him, no one would approach, and cleared a circle of weeds and trees to control the fire.

Rong Yuancheng watched Mu Zhenxuan's body be cremated with his own eyes. After the fire was extinguished, he personally collected some ashes and put them into a small jar. Then he asked Qing Lei to scatter the remaining ashes into the nearest river to clear all traces.

Rong Yuancheng secretly returned to Qitian City with Mu Zhenxuan's ashes. He did not go back to the Ninth Princess' Mansion directly, but went to the Sixth Prince's Mansion first.

Ji Fengyuan sat alone in the study and drank. Seeing that the window was windy, Rong Yuancheng came in, not surprised, but his eyes fell on the urn in Rong Yuancheng's hand, and he smiled, "You are kind and righteous, and you plan to bring this thing back and bury it into the Mu family's ancestral grave?"

Rong Yuancheng shook his head and nodded, "There is no kindness and righteousness between me and him." But he planned to take Mu Zhenxuan's ashes back and bury him. No matter what, this is the person who raised him, whether it is true or false. People are dead, and all the past has passed away with the wind, and he only needs to have a clear conscience.

Ji Fengyuan didn't care about this matter and quickly changed the subject, "What should I do next? Nine... Your senior sister pretended to be Ji Yuexuan and had to take Mu Zhenxuan to the border tonight, otherwise it would arouse Ji Xu's suspicion. But Mu Zhenxuan has been killed by you, so she wouldn't really leave Qitian City, right?"

Rong Yuancheng shook his head slightly, "Since Ji Xu means to act in secret, don't disturb the royal family of Dongming Kingdom. Just leave Qitian City and come back again as if it's done. That way, there will be some time before Ji Xu discovers it."

Ji Fengyuan nodded, "It's feasible. But is your purpose really to kill my father? Ji Yuexuan is not an exaggeration about this matter. I think you and You Wu, including me, no matter how many people you brought, as long as Su Mo didn't come, it's unlikely to succeed. Don't forget that this is the territory of the Ji royal family. I have never seen Ji Xu take action with my own eyes, but Ji Yuexuan once mentioned that he is a master of martial arts and there are countless masters around him."

After the words came, Ji Fengyuan thought, "Actually, I can't quite understand. If Ji Xu never gave up on your mother, he had the ability to catch your mother back, but he never did it. It would be easy for him to kill Mu Zhenxuan."

Rong Yuancheng's eyes were slightly cold, "Because Ji Xu is a lunatic, he wants to conquer my mother and ask her to beg him to come back."

Ji Fengyuan sneered, "Indeed, that man is a madman. I have seen him many times, but I can't see what he is thinking. Most of the time, I think he is very wise, and sometimes what he does is confusing. When it comes to serious business, what are your plans?"

"First see if my senior sister can get useful news from Ji Yuexuan." Rong Yuancheng said, "Don't let other people under you know about my cooperation with you, especially your senior brother Luo Sheng."

Ji Fengyuan smiled, "You have said this twice, but I didn't tell Senior Brother Luo. I know, you can't trust him. His man is indeed a bit obsessed with greed and unreliable."

Rong Yuancheng hummed softly, "You are still laughing? He just wants to use your power to stand out and gain wealth. If someone can afford higher benefits, he may not betray you. It will not be good for you to stay by your side."

Ji Fengyuan's eyes flashed slightly, "Thank you for your advice, I will pay attention."

Seeing Rong Yuancheng get up and leave with Mu Zhenxuan's urn, Ji Fengyuan frowned, called the servants and asked Luo Sheng where he had gone.

Since Ji Fengyuan gained a foothold, Luo Sheng has been in and out of the Sixth Prince's Mansion openly and became the first person under Ji Fengyuan.

The servant stammered and couldn't tell the reason, so Ji Fengyuan found Luo Sheng's residence by himself.

Ji Fengyuan is not greedy for luxury and pleasure, and Luo Sheng’s place is even more luxurious than Ji Fengyuan’s main courtyard.

Although Ji Fengyuan knew that Luo Sheng was rich and had some people, Ji Fengyuan didn't care about these things, but after hearing what Rong Yuancheng said and seeing Luo Sheng's behavior again, Ji Fengyuan couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

The fundamental reason is that Luo Sheng did not regard Ji Fengyuan as his master, and even often regarded himself as his brother. Although they were indeed brothers, their relationship was average, and the reason why they came together now was that Luo Sheng took the initiative to help Ji Fengyuan. If he really treated Ji Fengyuan as his brother, then Ji Fengyuan could accept it. But the fact is that Luo Sheng came to Ji Fengyuan not because of brotherly feelings, but was driven by interests. Since this is the case, he should be the main focus of Ji Fengyuan, but he was a bit arrogant and he talked about his brotherly feelings, becoming more and more arrogant.

There was no servant in the yard. When Ji Fengyuan walked to the door, he heard ambiguous sound of men and women panting in the room. His face immediately became a little dark. It was broad daylight, where did Luo Sheng call the woman back?

Ji Fengyuan was not polite, and raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Luo Sheng's annoyed voice came from the room, "Get out!"

"Senior brother, it's me." Ji Fengyuan frowned.

"Junior brother? Can you say something later?" Luo Sheng said impatiently.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I'll wait for you in the yard." Ji Fengyuan turned around, his eyes slightly cold.

Luo Sheng in the room cursed in a low voice, pinched the woman's slender waist, got up and got out of bed and started to wear clothes.

The woman looked full of spring, pulled the quilt to cover her naked body, and her delicate little face looked at Luo Sheng in a daze.

Luo Sheng smiled evilly, tied up his trouser belt, and touched the woman's delicate face again, "Xue'er waits for me." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

The woman on the bed, as Luo Sheng turned around, had disgust in her eyes, then closed her eyes, turned around, and whispered gritting her teeth, "Su Mo... Rong Yuanqiu... you wait for me... My Mei Yingxue's shame today will be returned a hundred times in the future!"

Luo Sheng went out and saw Ji Fengyuan's expression unwillingness, so he walked over with a smile, "Junior brother, blame me, I forgot to say hello to you in advance."

Ji Fengyuan smiled, "Senior brother has found a confidante, so affectionate?"

Luo Sheng heard Ji Fengyuan's teasing intention, but was not embarrassed. Instead, Chunfeng nodded, "I am indeed a confidante. He was originally a noble girl whom I could not see. Unexpectedly, God helped her to make her fall into trouble, so she would fall into my arms. This scholarly lady is extraordinary, her skin is so tender that she can pinch it out of water, haha! Junior brother, don't always look pure and careless. No matter how powerful she is, isn't it just for the sake of glory, wealth and gentleness?"

As he said that, Luo Sheng suddenly lowered his voice and smiled a little ambiguously, "Junior brother, the one inside is really a beauty, and has a very good background. If you are in trouble, you are more than enough to be your wife! If you don't dislike me, let's play together? They are all men, don't be so reserved."

Ji Fengyuan's face was a little dark, "Senior Brother, I'm not interested in what you said. Tell me first, who is that woman?" It's more than enough to be his wife in a despair? There was no nobleman in the Western Liao Kingdom that had an accident in the past or two years.

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "Young brother, you really won't enjoy happiness. The one inside is the first beauty in Nanzhao, the daughter of the Mei family in Nanzhao, and Mei Yingxue."

Ji Fengyuan was stunned when he heard this, "Miss Mei Family? How could she come here?"

As Ji Fengyuan knows, the current Emperor Nanzhao is the former third prince Su Yan. The Mei clan was demoted to a commoner after Mei Suxin. How could Mei Yingxue fall into Luo Sheng’s hands?

"Didn't I tell my junior brother before? Mei Yingxue and I met her very early, and have been pursuing her and helped her do a lot of things. When I met my junior brother in Dongming Kingdom that time, I followed the Mei brothers and sisters. But at that time, I was just a young man who was unpopular in Luoyue Villa. Mei Yingxue was tall and treated me as a slave. I also knew that she could not marry me. But once and for the time, now I don't give me a title, she obediently at my mercy, hahaha! As for how she got here, of course, I sent someone to pick her up when I heard that the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom changed. If she didn't follow me and stayed in Nanzhao, she would be destined to be treated as a plaything and would not have a good life." Luo Sheng looked proud.

Ji Fengyuan frowned, "Where are the other people in the Mei family?"

"What does that have to do with me?" Luo Sheng shook his head.

In this way, Ji Fengyuan knew that Mei Yingxue chose to follow the people sent by Luo Sheng and defected to Luo Sheng, but she did not bring other people to the Mei family. She was so cruel that she must not be a good person.

"Oh by the way." Luo Sheng suddenly smiled again, "There is another thing that I have to tell my junior brother. Before the Nanzhao royal family changed, was there something wrong with Luoyue Villa? My elder brother had been hacked to death. I also had a sister named Luo Yiyi, who was arrogant and willful, but after this time, he should have learned his lesson. Yiyi looked good and was on the way to join me here and arrived soon. I only had this younger sister left, and let her follow other men. I was really worried. If my junior brother looked down on me, just accept her! Her identity could not be the wife of my junior brother, just be a side room!"

Luo Sheng said and patted Ji Fengyuan on the shoulder, looking like he had decided to make up the matter.

Ji Fengyuan originally wanted to refuse, but nodded again, "When Miss Luo comes, see what she means."

Luo Sheng didn't expect Ji Fengyuan to be so cheerful and was overjoyed. "That's because she has good luck to be with her junior brother. She is too happy! It doesn't matter if the junior brother doesn't look down on Mei Yingxue. My sister is Qingqing's virgin. I'll let her serve her at that time!"

Ji Fengyuan never mentioned to Luo Sheng that he had cooperated with Rong Yuancheng and You Wu, because at the beginning, Rong Yuancheng expressed his distrust of the people around Ji Fengyuan and asked him to keep it absolutely confidential.

Originally, Ji Fengyuan thought Rong Yuancheng was too arrogant and looked down on his subordinates, but now looking at Luo Sheng's appearance, Ji Fengyuan deeply agreed with Rong Yuancheng's words. Luo Sheng was already floating, and he wanted to control Ji Fengyuan. It was one of the means to put his sister to Ji Fengyuan. If Ji Fengyuan refused, Luo Sheng would definitely threaten Ji Fengyuan by taking his people away, saying that Ji Fengyuan looked down on him.

Ji Fengyuan is not unable to leave Luo Sheng, but he just doesn't plan to let Luo Sheng leave. Luo Sheng knows a lot about him, and if he really betrays him, it will be very troublesome.

Ji Fengyuan and Luo Sheng mentioned that Ji Yuexuan was leaving Beijing, but did not say anything to let Luo Sheng do. Luo Sheng just thought that Ji Fengyuan had discussed everything big and big, and was very satisfied with it.

When Ji Fengyuan left, Luo Sheng returned to the room and closed the door, taking off his clothes while walking, "Xue'er, I'm here!"

Ji Fengyuan left Luo Sheng and went to the Ninth Princess Mansion again. This time he went secretly. He planned to ask Rong Yuancheng how to deal with Luo Sheng the most appropriate way. Moreover, he felt that Mei Yingxue, who was attracted by Luo Sheng, was also a hidden danger, and that was Su Mo's cousin, so maybe Rong Yuancheng had any opinions.

At sunset, Rong Yuancheng bought the sauce elbow that You Wu liked to eat from Defulou and returned to the Ninth Princess Mansion.

Ji Yuexuan was still in the room, and Ji Fengyuan had just arrived. When Rong Yuancheng entered the door, he saw You Wu frowning and knew something had happened.

Rong Yuancheng put down Mu Zhenxuan's urn and the elbow he bought, looked at Ji Yuexuan, "Die?"

You Wu shook her head, "Not yet. She explained two things, and I promised to spare her life."

Ji Fengyuan asked, "What's the matter?"

You Wu looked at Rong Yuancheng and said nothing.

Ji Fengyuan quickly understood that Rong Yuancheng and You Wu had something to hide from him and didn't want him to know.

Ji Fengyuan snorted softly, "Yuancheng, I really cooperate with you. If you don't trust me, make it clear as soon as possible."

"Senior sister, just say it right. Feng Yuan is not an outsider." Rong Yuancheng said, and explained to Ji Fengyuan again, "Some things are just our guesses, no evidence or conclusion, so I haven't told you yet, and it's not deliberately concealed."

Ji Fengyuan stared at him, not understanding what was going on, and he still needed to guess?

You Wu first took out the token that Ji Yuexuan had passed in Yuelan Palace, and then mentioned it. Ji Yuexuan claimed to have met the ghost Taoist, and the ghost Taoist claimed to be her own grandfather and gave her a bottle of poison as a meeting gift. Later, Ji Yuexuan had also seen many of the same medicine bottles in Ji Xu's place.

Ji Fengyuan was confused, "What? Ji Xu is not the blood of the Ji royal family at all? Is there someone else in my own father? Who is the ghost Taoist?"

Rong Yuancheng thought, "The Ghost Taoist is the supreme poison arts and is extremely powerful. The third sister suspected that he wanted to kill Su Mo, but he was also the third sister's master. Although we have not received any news about Su Mo's whereabouts, we can conclude that the one who killed him is the Ghost Taoist."

Since the ghost Taoist claims to be Ji Xu's biological father, it is impossible for someone else to attack Su Mo at the top of Zhaixing Mountain.

Ji Fengyuan was even more confused, "Rong Yuanqiu's master? Want to kill Su Mo? Why?"

"I just said so much, are you deaf? He is clearing the obstacles for his son." You Wu complained about Ji Fengyuan.

Ji Fengyuan felt a little confused, "Is this really?"

"The current evidence points to Ji Xu." Rong Yuancheng's eyes froze slightly, "But because of this, I feel that it's wrong. It's too easy and too smooth. The ghost Taoist is not impossible to be Ji Xu's father, but it makes me believe that Qing Mei has no regrets for the countless madmen of Ji Xu, who is so crazy about Ji Xu, and I can't understand it."

Ji Fengyuan was stunned, "Qingmei and Ji Xu? What's going on?"

Rong Yuancheng did not hide it anymore and simply told Ji Fengyuan the whole story.

After hearing this, Ji Fengyuan blurted out, "So your mother's process of becoming the Emperor of Dongming is so tortuous? It's too chaotic! If the ghost Taoist was Ji Xu's biological father, he would take Su Mo down so easily. It would be difficult for us to kill Ji Xu."

"Do you regret it?" Rong Yuancheng asked back.

Ji Fengyuan shook his head, "What do you regret? I just think the enemy is too strong and hope is slim. Also, I came to you to solve Luo Sheng, I want to ask you for your opinion, and I also want to tell you that he brought Su Mo's cousin Mei Yingxue to his side, and he is now in a romance."

You Wu frowned, "You will talk about this later. Now there is an urgent matter. After you leave, Ji Xu will send someone to order Ji Yuexuan to take Mu Zhenxuan to the palace at Hai Hai tonight, and say that there is something to ask Mu Zhenxuan. What should I do?"

Ji Fengyuan looked at Rong Yuancheng, "You two can only disguise and pretend to be Ji Yuexuan and Mu Zhenxuan to enter the palace. There is no other way."
